Chapter 153 Iron Curtain Incineration Plant

Looking at the White Tower - the star of civilization, the hope of mankind, and the pride of reason.

You can enter the White Tower directly from Suze in the north, and you can also enter the White Tower's territory by walking southeast from Fararo. However, if you want to enter the White Tower from Kalar, there is only one way.

Although Caral surrounded Farara like a flat crescent moon, in fact, it was only the lower half of the arc that adjoined the White Tower.

The City of Fortune is already very close to the White Tower.Even with the footsteps of a bad horse, it can be reached within two days by walking eastward from the City of Fortune.

However, because Roland went north to find Claudia, if he didn't want to cross the border of Farajo when he went east, he had to go south.

But even so, it took only three days for Roland and the four of them to walk, before they could vaguely see the phantom of the city.

Roland squinted his eyes and looked at the city appearing in the distance, with a little nostalgia in his eyes.

"White Tower..."

I am back.

The second half of the sentence was gently chewed by Roland and swallowed back into his stomach.

This is Iron Curtain.

It is different from ordinary people's perception of the White Tower.That city is not so magnificent and splendid as a paradise.

On the contrary - gray smoke continues to float out from the city and condenses in the sky, dyeing the surrounding clouds a dark color.

No, to be precise, there were no clouds that day.

From a distance, it's not just that there are no clouds above the city.Even the clouds in the surrounding cities receded as if in fear. Around the thick gray fog that covered the Iron Curtain City as softly as a gray-black pudding, there was a large cloudless area that was so blue that it was frightening.

"...This is the White Tower?"

Claudia's tone was full of disbelief.

In any wizarding education she could receive, it was mentioned that the White Tower was a wizard's paradise.

Now it seems that this is heaven?It's almost like hell!

"Ah... this is a polluted area, just go a little further..."

Being watched by Claudia, An Ruosi felt the tingling and itching of the soles of his feet. He unconsciously exerted force on his right hand holding the cane, while his left hand also clenched into a fist and kept rubbing against it.

It's not that he has any guilty conscience.The main reason is that Claudia's current power is simply too terrifying.

It's that tingling feeling on the skin just by getting close.

If it's just like this, then she will only be annoying.

But Claudia's temperament changed simultaneously.From that kind of gentle harmlessness and kindness to another kind - more in line with the reason and mystery of wizards.

If the previous Claudia felt like a gemstone ring, now it feels like a knotty wood staff studded with amethyst——

Forgive An Ruosi for only thinking of this type of metaphor.

Simply put, it's the same beauty, but it's gone from harmlessly charming to something else headyly dangerous.

After Roland rescued Claudia and told her that Kluvien was dead, Claudia seemed to have changed instantly.

In addition to becoming soft in front of Roland and gentle in front of An Ruosi, anyone who saw her would shudder involuntarily.

"Okay, Claudia, calm down."

Roland switched the cane from his right hand to his left, took two steps back, passed his right hand around Claudia's back, and gently pressed her shoulder.

Afterwards, Roland leaned close to Claudia's ear and whispered, "My lady saint, you are out of control again."

Claudia realized her gaffe, slowed down her pace, took a deep breath, and then showed a perfect smile at Roland: "Then I have adjusted now, my lord pope, you can let me go ?"

"if you want."

Roland shrugged and took off his right hand, but a smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

If An Ruosi was familiar with it, he would know that this temperament is unique to the undead.

Of course, Claudia is not an undead.

The injury caused by Claudia being thrown out by Kluvern with the blade shield was far worse than Roland imagined.

Five of her sternums were broken, her right knee was broken, her right arm was directly broken into pieces, her shoulder joints also fell off, the broken bones of her right arm had pierced into an artery, and there were two wounds on her chest. A bone spur penetrated the lung.

However, even with such an injury, Claudia lingered on for half an hour and still did not die, and finally waited until Roland cast the harmless chant on her.

Roland knew that Claudia was already dead.

If Roland could check her attributes at that time, he would find that her health had already returned to zero.

But because of the mercy of the Sleeping Teacher, she didn't let the law of the wall of Aum take away her soul, so she could wait until An Ruosi carried her to see Roland to receive the treatment of harmless chant.

If it takes a little longer—not much, as long as Claudia is not resurrected before the sun goes down, she will become an undead.

It's not hard to do this.

Roland faced a decision when he was in the basement.

If he hadn't given up on the plague that was effective against the Twilight's followers before the White Tower collapsed, Roland would definitely find a way to collect the body parts of the pyroxene species in order to prepare himself for cultivating humans mixed with the blood of Twilight.

After that, Roland will also disassemble these machines to check if there are any remaining raw materials of Glowing Blood inside.

Although Roland knew, the result probably wouldn't happen.

You must know that it takes a long time to drink the blood of the glow until it mutates, otherwise there is no reason for Xingia to wait so long to find this army.

The reason why Roland saw the hell on earth coming before him when he entered Singia's tavern, the biggest reason is that someone mixed their glowing blood with the blood of demonized glowing blood made from the blood of Twilight Familiars .

The blood full of chaotic magic power, even those who usually drink the blood of glow, couldn't bear it, and they mutated one by one in front of Roland.

Looking back now, Roland thought that the person who threw the pyroxene seed into the blood pump chamber to pollute all the glowing blood and induce these drinkers to mutate was probably "Edward".

——However, if Roland had investigated those machines at that time, the result would be that Claudia would not be able to see Roland until dark, and eventually died and resurrected completely, becoming an undead.

When Claudia and Roland are not on the same line, if Roland attracts the hatred of the dead crow, the greatest possibility is death.

It can be said that it is a crucial choice.

On the other hand, for Claudia, this near-death experience is also extremely important.

The experience of this period of time successfully made her best friend die in front of her eyes because of protecting herself. Claudia got the cruel thinking characteristic, and the most important characteristic of the priest of the long sleep tutor - "death experience".

Death experience (personal trait)
Effect: All divine spells you cast that involve the realm of death will gain a 50% bonus in effectiveness and success rate; you will no longer be affected by divination spells.

——I come from the country of death, and my previous life is dust.

There are so many magic spells with a success rate of 60.00%80.00 to [-]% on the list of magic spells for the death crow, which is to emphasize how important this feature is to the death crow.

A death crow that has not died once cannot be regarded as a real death crow.

Thinking of this, Roland turned his head and glanced at Joseph who was silently walking behind, and raised his eyebrows.

...Of course, Roland doesn't want Claudia to be a martyr compared to the less perfect Death Crow.

"Roland, where is this place?"

At this moment, Claudia turned around and asked Roland.

The temperament on her body was put away again.Changed back to normal again.

"This city is called Iron Curtain City."

Roland answered.

"You know, the gadgets made by wizards are too dangerous compared to the useless but safe toys of alchemists."

"Don't talk about using it, even if it is destroyed, if it is not handled properly, it will cause a large-scale disaster."

"In the earliest days, this city was caused by the destruction of a large number of enchanted items, which caused the nearby Aum's law to become disordered, and even opened a space crack leading to the underground..."

"Underground? You mean underground?!"

Claudia exclaimed.

"...Yes, that is the underground."

An Ruosi took over Roland's words, her eyes full of fear: "So this city was undoubtedly destroyed."

"So, after the wizards killed or captured the underground species, they spent a lot of effort to smooth out the disordered laws here. Then, after research and discussion, they decided on such a thing—"

"In order to ensure that the magic power defined by Aum's Law will not leak and cause greater pollution, damaged enchanted items must be destroyed, but must be destroyed in a special furnace. But because the power of the furnace is not enough, the contaminated magic power will still be destroyed. It escapes in the form of magic dust."

"The magic dust is not a good thing. Whether it is long-term contact or breathing, it will make the flesh and blood too orderly-in short, it is turned into stone."

Roland did not hide the disdain in his tone: "Claudia, if you look carefully, you will find that the people who come in and out of this city either pack themselves tightly, or It's just a sluggish expression and stiff limbs..."

"...But, why here?"

"It's very simple," Roland replied as a matter of course, "Of course it's because it was destroyed once by the underground race, so it's worthless."

"The lady is right."

Before Claudia could respond, a young man's voice came from behind them.
